The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors presented a Disability Voting Rights Week proclamation to REV UP Virginia volunteers, accompanied by students and teachers from the John Lewis High School Leadership Program, on September 9, 2025.
The proclamation noted that the Board of Supervisors supports the growing involvement of the disability community in the political process and civic engagement. REV UP volunteer Elizabeth Reece stated, “In the 2022 midterms, disabled Virginians voted at the same rate as non-disabled voters—shattering assumptions about political engagement and proving that there is a disability vote that cannot be dismissed.”
